Triple Trouble

We celebrated Steffany, Stephanie and Marybeth's b-days last night. Everyone dressed up in 80's outfits and went to the Catalyst where some DJs were spinning 80's music. Needless to say, I was in heaven. And it also goes without saying that my earrings, necklace, bracelet and barrett were relics from my (stylish?) high school days. Who knew I'd be wearing them 20 years later? Yikes I feel old! :-) Here we are with the birthday girls and Steff's husband Zach, aka the Karate Kid.

Calista's First Piggy Back Ride

Tyler and Nathalie came over to babysit (thanks again guys!) and Scott and I went out on a date. Tyler gave Calista her first piggy back ride. Calista had a ball -- and loves Tyler's haircut too!

Leslie and her Girls Come to Visit

My good friend Leslie from Haas came to visit with her two girls, Marlee (about 2 1/2 years) and Georgia (5 months) and we had a really fun play date. They had come all the way from Toronto so it was an extra-special occasion. Calista loved Georgia -- she even gave her kisses! It was so fun to see Calista with other kids - she is such a social girl and has fun engaging with others.

Doug Tsao's Wedding

Our friends Evan and Amanda

And us! Calista was such a good girl at the wedding. Every one loved her. Scott danced with her a bunch and showed her some groovy new moves (on our video camera, so alas they aren't on the blog). Next time!

Calista Learns to Splash

First she's a little timid...
















Then she learns to splash and is the happiest baby in the pool!

Calista Loves Graham

We had brunch with Heidi, Sean and Graham in DC. Calista thought Graham was hysterical! She is really starting to recognize other babies and want to interact with them.

Calista Proves She's a Democrat

I took Calista on a morning stroll to see the white house when we were in DC over Labor Day Weekend. She hasn't quite awoken to her policital activism yet...

An Image in Orange

My mom (Nonni) got Calista a cute orange outfit to match my orange t-shirt! Here's a silly self-portrait. And I just LOVE the one of her sitting up all by herself and reading. These were taken on August 31.
